A gift to protect the ocean

Together, we’ve been campaigning to protect the ocean for more than 30 years and we plan to continue long into the future.

Our campaigns get results, delivering new legislation and investment to protect marine life, beaches, rivers and waves.

But despite our wins, the ocean is still in danger. Climate change, plastic pollution, sewage effluent and the lack of proper protection for marine ecosystems is putting a huge strain on the ocean. We need your support to defend and champion this vital life force for generations to come.

Why leave a gift to Surfers Against Sewage?

A healthy ocean is essential for the survival of all life on Earth. Leaving a legacy, large or small, will fund our campaigns long into the future.

The restoration of our seas has never been more important. We are at a turning point for Planet Ocean and we need to set a new pathway towards revival.

With your legacy, we can build even stronger campaigns to mobilise volunteers, empower young people, demand progressive environmental legislation and call out the biggest ocean polluters.

A truly wild ocean offers us hope – and the ecosystem where we can restore nature at the scale and pace needed to counteract the environmental challenges ahead.

We understand that family and friends come first. When you’ve made provisions for them, please consider leaving a gift in your Will to protect the ocean for future generations.

“I am leaving a legacy that my children – and their children can enjoy, ensuring my love of the sea lives on in future generations of my family.”

Add to Your Existing Will

If you already have a Will, you can make an addition using a Codicil – an appendix to your Will. Simply download and print our Codicil, complete it in the presence of two witnesses (or one if you’re in Scotland) and file it with your Will.

Types of gift

There are three different types of gift you can leave:

A share of your estate

You can leave a percentage of what’s left of your estate after your other wishes are carried out (a residuary gift). This is a good option as it keeps its value in line with inflation.

A fixed amount of money

You can give a fixed financial donation (a pecuniary gift). But bear in mind the value of this kind of gift goes down over time as inflation increases.

A specific item

You can also give an item, such as a valuable painting, jewellery or a property (a specific gift).

Get in touch

If you have any questions about making or amending a Will, we always recommend that you seek advice from a solicitor. You can find a legal professional near you via The Law Society, or for more general information about making a Will, visit www.gov.uk/make-will
